4/19 rides

I enjoyed a beautiful morning on a back country road. I rode 11.68 miles and had the opportunity to snap some interesting shots along the way.











Thanks for looking. How was your ride today?

Wow, what beautiful pics! I need a camera. I also saw horses today, being ridden by young girls.

I did the same ride as yesterday, with the new hilly road I discovered. It's always easier the second time.

Saw a dad riding with 2 kids, all in the middle of the road, no helmets, trying to make it up a hill by zigzagging into the oncoming traffic lane. Luckily there were no cars. It made me cringe to watch them.

I wore a short sleeve tee shirt under my jersey, and could have ridden only in that, it's so nice out. Major blue skies, abundant sunshine, and NO WIND!

Hope you all had as nice a ride!

Last weekend I wore a jersey and shorts and got a sunburn. Here's a pic of the view out my window this morning. Don't think I'll be riding. Snow is unheard of this late in the year....

It seems like I haven't had time to do more than a 15-16 mile ride any day this week. After doing a bunch of Passover cooking, went out to do the Hanscom Base loop. A big part of this ride goes through Minuteman National Park, where several battle reenactments were going on, to celebrate Patriot's Day. There were thousands of people walking down the side of the road, where we were riding, plus lots of cars and police patrols everywhere. At least no muskets went off this year!
It's beautiful out, about 71 and sunny.

No cycling today for Joe and me. We had planned on doing a mountain bike ride but . . . well, we didn't go.

I woke to snow coming down! What?! This is April right? Geeish! So I cleaned house, did laundry, and made pizzelles!

Weather is supposed to improve starting Monday. If so I plan to ride every single nice day after work! And I think tomorrow is supposed to be dry. If so a definite bike ride will be scheduled in!

Sigh . . . well here are a few pictures of me making pizzelles on this not so fine spring day!


9:00 AM, me in my PJs


Two golden pizzelles ready to come off the pizzelle iron


Pizzelles cooling on my kitchen table


Cleaning up


Ready to be placed into containers

These won't last very long. One recipe makes 6 dozen . . . there are 4 1/2 dozen on the counter. Joe and Jackie (ahem and me) had been "sampling" a few. This recipe is my great Aunt Rachel Marsico's recipe. They are to die for!

And to all you lucky gals who did get a ride in today . . . wooooo wooooo! I am jealous! Please send some of your nice weather my way! PLEASE! Sundial I just love the pictures! Especially the one of the mare and foal! So cute! redrhodie, rub it in! No wind, major blue skies, abundant sunshine! sigh sigh and double sigh! kelownagirl, I know the weekend you are talking about. I got sun last Saturday!!!!! It was a warm (hot) 75 F (about 24 C). Wasn't that a gorgeous day kelownagirl! I was in heaven! Joe, Jackie, and I did a 25 mile ride. Would have done more but Joe's rear hub came loose! Had to turn around and head back.

Jenerator what part of Colorado is that? Longmont area? I used to live in CO and still have relatives in that area.

Susan126 I've never had a pizzelle. Can you send me one?
